I'm returning to '72's Super Fly and Curtis Mayfield's fantastic sound of the time : ) would be welcome to hear some Mr. Mayfield, maybe given our political landscape some Gil Scott Heron as well
Peace
I Agree! This is a GREAT Weather Report tune! Thanx RP!
I was just out of H.S. delivering furniture for a living. Late '73/early '74 I guess. Anyway I made friends with this cool hippy guy from Alabama; Monroe, I think. Turned out he was a supply clerk during the Tet Offensive. He said he never fired his rifle but he could see plenty of fireworks from afar while perched on the supply hut roof in a lawn chair...but, I digress.
He and his wife met during a stint as Peace Corps volunteers and were into progressive jazz and also turned me on to a fine sense of acceptance and friendship. I miss those what now seem like but brief moments...time travel
A year or so later I myself was an enlisted man. What a long strange trip it's been...
Cool story! Thank You for sharing it!
Peace
I PSD to this from Mark-Almond's "The City." This is a lot more driving and funky than "The City", which sets a record for meandering. Yes, it has an urban movie soundtrack feel but it's right on.

High Quality music man the album art looks like when I peeked into my room mates room during a wicked bong party and everyone was packed tight and chillin' : P
Bump, bump! I miss these guys in a big way.
My all time favorite is "Heavy Weather".
Thanks for this, Bill.
Man, look at all the comments from the ONE TIME Bill played this! Weird! I uploaded this track once, and got 'sorried'!
For the uninitiated, they're both grads of the Miles Davis school, just like John "Mahavishnu" McLaughlin, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and a whole slew of others.
Speakin' of McLaughlin, how about adding some Mahavishnu Orchestra to the RP mix sometime? You Know, You Know would be outstanding.
This can end now.
*Edited* It's still going...*
There needs to be a -10 rating.
Gads! It's endless! Like it spontaneously regenerates!
Takes me right back to my college days...
Thanks to the uploader!
And thanks for playing it Bill!
love it and thanks.

The only band that plays sounds I can see.
Feel like I need a big fro and some go go boots.
